Cardiovascular exercise is an invaluable part of any weight loss journey. Not only does it help you burn calories while you're actually running or walking, but it also kick-starts your metabolism, helping you burn calories during periods of rest.
Regular cardiovascular exercise strengthens your heart and improves blood circulation throughout your body. It not only lowers blood pressure, but, by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and raising HDL (good) cholesterol, it further reduces your risk of coronary artery disease.
Studies show you can drastically lower your risk of developing heart issues and extend your life expectancy by walking about 4,500 steps a day-or running just five minutes a day.
Both running and walking also offer immense psychological benefits. Both activities release endorphins, which reduce pain and boost mood.
